I am please to announce that Mitch Grasso will be joining us at Adobe MAX 2007 Chicago in the "Inspire" sessions. Mitch Grasso has been working on a new service called SlideRocket, focused on creating and viewing presentations online and offline. Mitch provided me with a presentation for you to look at showing the new Papervision 3D slide transitions. Here is the sneak peek of SlideRocket.
Sneak Peek of 3D Slide Transitions in SlideRocket
Best to think of it as Keynote or PowerPoint for the web. It is a serious RIA built using Flex and the backend was written using ASP.NET/SOAP/MSSQL.
Mitch started using Flex in April of last year and has taken Flex to a new level with SlideRocket. Having used this application, it is a serious contender for the presentation market in that it is easy to use, easy to share, nothing to install, and it doesn't clog your email with large presentation files.
I cannot wait until Mike Arrington, Robert Scoble, or Om Malik get a hold of a SlideRocket account, this application will go big. I have been bugging Mitch to finish so I can switch to presenting with Sliderocket for all my presentations and I think we will see a public beta coming very soon.
NOTE: Inspire Session to be posted ASAP to session/speaker list!
Mitch thanks for helping us change MAX 2007!
Adobe MAX 2007. Connect. Discover. Inspire.
See you at MAX 2007!
Ted :)
WOW. Simply wow. I'm very excited about bringing this to my company...
Does anyone know, if this will be also available as an AIR app? Does it use the hardware-acceleration feature in fullscreen mode or will it support fullscreen at all?
Kind regards...
Ok. Mr Ted, I've been waiting patiently since I saw this bad boy announced. How do I get my hands on a beta account.
In the demo, move your mouse to the lower right hand corner, a button will appear to make this full screen.
Not sure as to AIR plans for the slide creation part but the viewer is already an AIR application.
Ted
Thanks Ted!
Daniel, there will be AIR versions for both offline playback and offline editing/management. The player link Ted provided does support hardware acceleration in fullscreen but the resolution is limited to 800x600 right now so it's a little blurry on high-res monitors.
Kenneth, we should start sending invites within the next couple of weeks to the people who signed up on the site.
Wow! I need an invite! Please?????? Thanks a billion!
